    Wow! Stuck in Texas for 3 days, gotta refuse loads down here from now on.

    Patience.....key word...you can only physically run so many miles....take it as a rest/recharge....all I am saying is....don't sell yourself short...Laredo can be a lucrative corridor..but not so much, if everyone takes .65 cent loads....then it turns into a long run without much payback...

    do you really think, dispatchers, recruiters, operation managers, CEO's have gone 5 years without a raise?.....Like CV'er's have....???? and why IS that?.....maybe because some guys are taking that .60 cent load...hmmmmm.....
